A glimpse into the tumultuous period of Michael’s life and career following the release of his 1987 solo debut, Faith. Along with documenting his creative efforts during this period, Michael also explores his relationship with Anselmo Feleppa — who died from AIDS-related complications — as well as the death of his mother.
Absorbing if not quite insightful, due to a fair degree of self-editing, this remains a moving, often melancholic document of a fabulous songwriter and singer whose legacy becomes ever more obvious as the years pass. A must for fans.
